this doing so, nelson -- in doing so, nelson mandela laid down a blueprint that has made it possible for other divided communities such as in northern ireland to reject violence, overcome their differences and make a fresh beginning. and that is why i hope that in communities where people are the still struggling to replace violence and conflict with peace and stability, the principles of forgiveness and reconciliation which mandela embodied are followed by others too. recently, for example, we have debated in this house the alleged human rights abuses in sri lanka. surely, there can be no better way for that country to heal its wounds and bring peace and unity to all its people than to follow mandela's example and emulate south africa's truth and reconciliation process. this, as i see it, is nelson mandela's lasting legacy to all of us. to champion the defenders of human rights today and to know that wherever there is conflict and injustice, with hope and courage peace is always possible. as the prime minister reminded us earlier, at his 1964 trial mandela told the world that equali
